Stanza XIII

By practice of the Word, one rises into universal consciousness and develops right understanding; by practice of the Word, one develops clairvoyance and transvision of the whole creation; by practice of the Word, one is freed from sorrow and suffering; by practice of the Word, one shall not go to Yama1 after his death. Oh, great is the Power of the Word, but few there be that know it.

Explanation: 1) Yama: it is known to the men who know of the world Beyond, that at the time of shaking off the mortal coil, souls are ushered into the other world by certain messengers who are the angels of Death (Yamduts). Sinners are badly treated by them, while the others are invariably led before Yama, the king of Death. But one who practises the Word escapes Yama altogether; for he is received at the Astral World by the Radiant Form of the Master and is escorted by Him to the Spiritual Planes.
